Australia has won a game after being outplayed in the first two Tests against India as the thrilling third Test between India and Australia draws to an end. The tourists were able to defeat the home team by nine wickets in the third Test because to outstanding performances from Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, and Travis Head.

India still leads the series, 2-1, after the game. They will continue to look for it in the fourth Test as they continue their quest for a guaranteed position in the World Test Championship. “I think obviously that first day, losing the toss and having to bowl first. But our bowlers did really well, especially Kuhnemann. All our bowlers contributed. With the bat, Usman was really good in the first innings. We had some good partnerships. India bowled really well in the back end, and we had a bit of a collapse. We had to toil hard yesterday, Pujji played a good knock, but all our bowlers did really well,” Steve Smith said. 

“It was a complete performance in the end. We are thinking of Patty back home; our thoughts are with him. But I really enjoyed this week. I like captaining in this part of the world. I think I understand a lot of the intricacies. It’s a place where I really enjoy, and I think I did a reasonable job this week. The approach will be much the same. We have to see how the conditions are like. It’s good to be in the WTC final, but it’s just about playing good cricket. Hopefully we can finish the series well,” he added.
